Finally found a material that balances perfectly with these big Blades. Got lucky with this. The weight and feel seem to match perfectly with this massive beast. Blade measures just a hair under 9/8ths at its widest point. I was also able to save the original bullseyes. Bone Scales were sealed with CA. Wedge is also Bone. This thing weighs just over 4 ounces. My next heaviest blade is my 8/8 Goldedge, which weighs just over 2.5 Ounces.

Thanks gents. If you have a big heavy chopper, such as this, I think bone may be a good candidate to consider for rescaling. I was pleasantly surprised on how well balanced the blade felt before vs. after.

Holy crap Mike! You're really bringing out the big guns with the 8/8 Goldedge and this 9/8 blade!

What is "CA"? I'm making some scales out of Bolivian Rosewood and trying to figure out what's best to use (that won't take weeks or months to cure).

I believe there is a tutorial on the restoration page. Excellent stuff that provides a great finish. I also like to use danish oil and renaissance wax on rosewood. Takes about 5 days for that type of finish.
